Mexican death metal act Putrefact has inked a deal with Xtreem Music for the release of a debut album in late 2013. The band was formed in 2011, features members from Disgorge and C.A.R.N.E., and played its first shows in summer 2012 while working on songs for a debut recording. Xtreem Music comments:

"In October 2012, Putrefact recorded the 'I Shall Die Upon this Putrefaction' demo EP, containing 5 tracks of some of the heaviest and sickest sonic putrefaction in form of a fucking evil and dark death metal evoking the ancient times of legendary acts such as Nihilist, Treblinka, Grotesque... This demo will be released during February 2013 by the band themselves and a split release might follow later on while the band is working on new songs for their debut full length.

"Putrefact has been confirmed for participation at Obscene Extreme America, that will take place in Mexico during 28-29-30 of March. You can also listen to the entire demo online below." More...
